Getting My Ear Drained

Update: 21/6/2008, 6:15pm
Bloody hell, I realize it's swollen again after waking up from bed. I think rolling around my bed and squashing it is the cause.

My cauliflower ear keep swelling bigger and bigger after every BJJ training.

This morning, 7:45am

I decided, that's it, I'm getting it drained. Medicine that was given to me wasn't working at all.

When it comes to dealing with needles, I always have trust in Dr Fong. He can somehow work some magic to make the whole process with little pain. Every blood test and vaccination, he's the doctor i'll go to. Same goes to this draining process.


True enough. I was expecting it to be very pain after watching the video. Even tough fighters like Michael Bisping was showing signs of having pain while getting it drained. But all i felt was like red ants biting.

Ahh, my ear back to normal.

Let's roll, one more round !

Hmm .... Where to ?

Remarks

You are required to resit AHLA3154.

Results were released on 29th May, I wasn't too surprised with my results.

So, I am required to resit one subject in order to obtain my Diploma. TAR College do not practice offering supplementary paper to their students, therefore I'll have to wait until this coming September to resit the only paper that is holding back my Diploma.

Initially I was thinking of transferring to HELP University College to complete my Degree in Psychology, but for the past few days I've been contemplating should I continue my studies in the current field or switching to Sports Science which was my second choice after Social Science (on papers). Deep inside me I know I have the desire to pursue Sport Science back then, but I think the reason I choose Social Science as my first choice was due to my parent's discouragement to pursue Sport Science.

Even my two years in College, I hardly did any extra read ups in regards to Social Science. My library book borrowing record shows that I've borrowed 80% of books in regards to Sport Science. I have a deeper interest to understand and know more about Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanics, Kinesiology etc.

Hmm ... pretty much in a dilemma.

Brutal BJJ Team Malaysia is Ending Soon

Most of you might know that I started training BJJ last October with Quico of Brutal BJJ Team.
I however stopped training one month later(November 2007) due to back injury, resume training again a month later(December 2007) but in a very inconsistent manner, and a total lay off from BJJ from January until recent May after I finished my finals in college.

In between that, I contemplated to quit BJJ after I was diagnosed with a herniated disc on L5/S1 on February 2008. I however made a U-turn on my decision after much encouragement and support from my teammates in Brutal BJJ Malaysia.

Two weeks ago Quico announced that he will be leaving Malaysia end of this year due to job commitments, and our last class will be on 30th June. It was quite a shock for the team. We do expect him to leave us one day, but not THIS soon. We expected to have him with the team for at least two years as he told us before that will be the duration he will be in Malaysia. Things are however, subject to changes. Nothing is certain.

And it's a pity that I missed 5 months in total of training. With remaining of 6 classes under Quico's guidance left, I'll definitely have to make full use of it to absorb as much knowledge as possible from Quico.

Till then ... the team will decide where to move on.

Cauliflower Is Growing On My Ear !

Recently I had my right ear swelled up due to BJJ training, early sign of cauliflower ear.

What's cauliflower ear?
You either click the link to read or much more interestingly, watch the and informative Youtube video below - Cauliflower Ear - Inside The UFC.

Look at the face of Michael Bisping when blood was drained from his ear.

Omg!! SAVE ME !!!

Ordering from Budovideos.com

I placed my orders with budovideos.com on Sunday morning, and it arrived on my doorstep on Friday at 2pm, while I was still at Johor. Asked Fedex person to pass it to neighbor instead. It's thumbs up-ed for budovideos.com's fast service.

I am however upset that the Adidas Gi is actually a Judo/BJJ Gi, where the sleeve is slightly wider and longer.
I thought it was supposed to be a BJJ only Gi.
